Ballpark Quotes
He was good. I know he threw a few too many pitches in the first inning, but he settled in. You know, I think a lot of times the first time in a real stadium other than a Spring Training ballpark gets your hearts started a little more -- maybe throwing through his stuff a little bit -- but I thought he was really good.
-
Balls Quotes
He was locating his fastball pretty well. He had a good slider and he didn't walk anybody. That's really important as a pitcher, getting ahead. We didn't do the things we should have done at the plate either. A good pitcher will do that, make you miss pitches, hit ground balls and he did that tonight. He kept us off balance, he threw well.
-
Double Quotes
(Knox) was frustrated with me anyway, throughout the early game, and that kind of iced it for him. I looked to the sidelines, and I saw him, first of all, throw his play sheet. Then he took off his hat - it was a double - and threw his hat down. I just remember walking off to the furthest side of the field, to not go by him.

Arm Quotes
Kline pitched well. He threw the ball over the plate and only walked two batters. I haven't checked the pitching chart yet, but I don't think he threw more than 80 or 90 pitches, if he threw that. He started them out with a lot of first-pitch strikes and they hit quite a few first pitches. When he throws from the same arm slot, he gets the ball over.

Best Quotes
Jake on the run is awesome. I think he's one of the best at doing that. All I know was Jake was outside the pocket and he threw it to me. I just threw my hands up and gave myself a chance to make the play. It was really gutsy, but we needed that. We needed to score more than three points.
-
Bad Quotes
Jake, I'll guarantee you, will do really well. He was indecisive in Arizona, and sometimes he made bad decisions, but he never had the talent around him that he does now. A lot of the interceptions he threw last year were to younger receivers he didn't trust as much, so he hesitated before throwing the pass. Now he's in a great system where that won't be a problem.
-
Breadth Quotes
I wrote some three hundred pages, threw most of them out, and started over. The novel seemed to require a maturity and breadth of vision I didn't yet have. What I discovered was that this maturity and vision accrues gradually over the course of many days, months, years of struggling to be a better writer.
-
Against Quotes
I take it in stride. It's one of those things you have to deal with, you have to overcome. I went out and threw against some of my own hitters again, just so I could see somebody standing in the box, rather than a bullpen when nobody is there. It's tough. Nothing is like the real game.
